I agree, fysh, on the "technology has its place." As my job often requires a lot of research, the Internet has become a great tool to use. (Grayling, Michigan doesn't have the largest of libraries...)

And, I agree as well on a decided preference for books. Lately, every trip to the mailbox has the Speaker of the House issuing her favorite statement regarding my book purchases... "And, the hits just keep on comin'..." Fortunately, when it comes to some genre of books, she's as bad as I am!
